Hello All, well it's all over. Everone throughtout the branch have been told, now all that's left is the mopping up which we'll start possibly next week once the dust has settled.

For me that means reshuffeling IT quipment orders and reclaiming mobile devices and transferring phone contracts to those who want to take their numbers with them ....... more work in other words but I'm thankful I'm still here to do it.

Good New's in a sad sort of way, but I am sure I can say we are all glad you did not get the sack!

Question for the Philly area Ballyhoo'ers and shoppers:
Is there an easy way to get from City Line Ave. to KofP Mall? I'm thinking if I get tix to the 10! Show for next week that I might want to shoot over to KofP afterwards since I'll be up in that general area. You have to keep in mind I'm not at all familiar with the area and can only get to the ch. 10 studio by going up the rt. 1 way and can only get to KofP by going rt. 202.
I'd appreciate your help, not so sure DH will.

Ok, I completely rely on the GPS at this point.......that being said.......if you're on City Line, I'm pretty sure you take 76 to KOP. It's not that far unless you run into traffic........hope that helps! Mapquest it to be sure.

We always take 76 (Schukyll Expressway) over to the mall. There's an exit for Mall Blvd that pretty much puts you right into the parking lot. Let us know if you are going to the mall. Depending on the day, maybe Linda and I can pop up there to meet you.

Like Robert said, our thoughts are with those who lost their jobs, but we are very grateful for you to still have your job.

Thanks for the same reply from both of you. Sadly we won't be going up to the show next Friday, they were booked. I need to confirm with DD's school that they off the entire week leading up to President's Day weekend and get a reservation for that week. I'll keep you posted if we do go up that week.

I took one for you this morning, hope it helped you as much as it helped me.

Good evening all welcome to the weekend.

Boeing just announced a reduction if 4500 workers for the 2nd quarter. Not all will be lay offs though, some will be normal attrition and non-Boeing contract workers. Hopefully I have enough seniority to keep my job. The first round of 60 day notices will go out Feb 20.

 

[Caropooh]

Sure Thing!

Did you take it yet?

Thanks Barb! I do feel better! FYI, 4 months from tomorrow, you and I will be cruising!

Best of luck Caro. The next month and week will probably be long ones.

Izzi, good news for you!

It looks like we're bracing for some snow. We were supposed to go to upstate NY for a Sci. competition tomorrow, but it looks like I will have to cancel. Upstate should be fine, but coming home during 4-7 inches of snow/sleet on a mini bus is not my idea of fun.

Laura - Did you say 10,000+ pics??????? Granted everytime we saw you your camera was in your hand . And seeing how beautiful the pictures of the Med were that you shared with us, you probably could create travel broshures!!!! Wow.

Thank you Robert

We are all fine I have been lurking & unfortunately I have been fairly busy with Tings (meaning out & about) & do not use my PDA to post (However I do use it to check e-mail). I am still doing homework on what to do during the trip use DVC points & go on the cheap or spend even more money? I am trying to balance things out!

Best of luck we are rooting for U!

Did you take it yet?

Yes it was wonderful dreamed about being at the Quite Cove Pool drinking Rum Runners!

Ahh, I feel really refreshed now! That sounds like my kind of dream!

Something to look forward to for May.

Sorry Andrew, but we'll send a postcard and NOT from CC since that can take too long to reach you.

Fingers and toes crossed and to you. I'm sure the next 5 weeks or so will be stressful, not to mention the next few months.

Izzi, sorry to hear about the extra work for you but it will keep you busy and right now that's the important part.

OMG Carolyn all my best wishes go out to you and your co-workers (but especially you ) As you are aware I know EXACTLY what you're going through and my thoughts will be with you every minute of the next few months

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone. I'll just take it one day at a time and try to not worry about it. Since I'm a member of the union, all of our layoffs are done by seniority. It did say in one news article that most of the reductions will come from areas not directly related to airplane production. Since I'm a production worker, that is a bit of good news.
